Diac Shows Queens, Saveikis Shows...Queens

David Salituro

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Catalin Diac limped in from the small blind and Or Nezer checked his option.

Diac led out for 200,000 on the A♣2♠5♦ flop and Nezer called. The turn came the 7♣ and Diac checked to Nezer, who bet 450,000. Diac folded.

"Good bluff," Diac said.

"I never bluff in my life," Nezer replied.

"Me too," Matteo Intiso added.

"You for sure," Nezer told him.

The next hand, Diac opened to 400,000 on the button as action went on Algirdas Saveikis in the big blind.

"Good machine," Diac told him before Saveikis three-bet to 1,075,000. Diac then moved all in for 3,400,000, and Saveikis snap-called.

Catalin Diac: Q♣Q♦ All in
Algirdas Saveikis: Q♣Q♥

"Boring, boring," Nezer said when both players turned over two queens. The K♦7♠10♣ flop didn't open any opportunities for either of them, and they chopped the pot after the J♣ turn and 2♠ river.

Algirdas Saveikis min-raised the cutoff, then folded after Matteo Intiso three-bet from the button to around 800,000.

A few hands later, Or Nezer made it 400,000 on the button before Saveikis three-bet jammed for around 3,800,000 from the small blind. Nezer returned his cards to the dealer.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

"The problem is the machine. Every hand is two pair," Or Nezer said about Algirdas Saveikis.

"He knows the maker," Matteo Intiso added.

Saveikis then asked the tournament officials how much it would cost to buy the shuffle machine: "€8,000, €10,000. I take the bracelet, the machine, and go home," Saveikis said.

Heinz Traut then moved all in for 1,600,000 on the button, and Nezer snap-called in the big blind.

Heinz Traut: K♣J♦ All in
Or Nezer: A♠Q♠

Nezer improved to top pair on the Q♣7♥4♣ flop, but the K♦ turn gave Traut a pair of kings and the lead. The river, though, was the Q♥, and Nezer improved to trips to win the pot and send Traut to the rail in fifth place.

"Good machine. Maybe I win with it now," Nezer added.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

When it folded to Heinz Traut in the small blind, he jammed for 885,000, causing Catalin Diac to go into the tank from the big blind. After giving it some thought, Diac called to put Traut at risk.

Heinz Traut: A♣8♥ All in
Catalin Diac: J♣8♠

Traut had Diac dominated with his ace-kicker as the dealer produced a flop of A♠6♥2♠ to propel Traut even further into the lead with top pair. The rest of the board came 3♦6♦ and Traut fist bumped the air in celebration at doubling up.

After the hand, Traut commented to Diac that he should not have called his shove with jack-eight.

Player	Chips	Progress
Catalin Diac	3,200,000 800,000	800,000
Heinz Traut	1,850,000 1,000,000	1,000,000

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

"This is my coach. Very famous guy," Or Nezer said as Maor Zaharagi came to watch him from the rail.

"My coach," Algirdas Saveikis joked as he patted the shuffle machine.

Catalin Diac then raised to 320,000 on the button, and Nezer called in the small blind. The flop came 9♠2♦5♦ and Diac continued for 300,000.

"Coach!" Nezer said, calling over Zaharagi to tell him what to do. He ended up folding. "Very good fold," he added.

Diac opened again the next hand, making it 320,000 in the cutoff, and Nezer called on the button. Matteo Intiso then moved all in for 1,950,000 in the big blind.

Diac quickly folded, and action went on Nezer. "Italiano push, big problemo," he said.

"Coach!" Saveikis said as he pretended to call Zaharagi over.

"Coach said patience is the best thing in life," Nezer added as he gave up the pot to Intiso.
